“25 FPS – International Festival of Experimental Film and Video”

This year’s “25 FPS – International Festival of Experimental Film and Video” once again offers an attractive programme that will feature the best films from all over the world, as well as an array of other concurrent events.

Between the 21^st and the 26^th of September, the Student Centre will be the venue for this year’s “25 FPS – International Festival of Experimental Film and Video”. This will be the festival’s sixth edition and it has a competitive character: among the 1,500 works that were entered for this year’s competition, 48 films from 18 countries have been selected.

The competition includes works by three filmmakers from Croatia and, among the competing films; the audience will have an opportunity to view some films that have already won awards at foreign festivals, as well as to get to know some new directors.
Conceived with the goal of informing the Zagreb audience about the current state in the global production of experimental film, this festival also features a diverse concurrent programme. For example, the “Focus on Croatia” programme presents domestic experimental film. Moreover there will also be organized performances with concert and film events, as well as workshops and various other treats.

Last year, for example, the retrospective programme presented Dutch experimental films, among which the audience had an opportunity to view the film by one of the fathers of documentary filmmaking, Joris Ivens, from 1928.
The festival organizer is the Association for Audio-Visual Research 25 FPS. Film aficionados can find out more about all of the events online at www.25fps.hr.
